What it does
Rewrite and audit SEO page titles, title tags, MDX frontmatter titles, H1 alignment, and bulk title improvements. Use when the user mentions titles, title tags, SERP titles, metadata titles, SEO titles, CTR, truncation, or asks to improve titles across pages.
SEO Title Optimization
Use this skill to improve page titles for search rankings and click-through rate.
Core Rule
Treat the SERP as the brief.
Do not write titles from vibes. Identify the target query, study what already ranks when possible, then write the clearest title that matches the page and search intent.
Title Formula
Start with:
Primary keyword + modifier / benefit + brand

Checklist
For each title:
- Put the primary query near the front.
- Align
title, meta description, H1, and URL slug around the same topic. - Match the page type: pricing, support, docs, login, product, comparison, review, guide, pillar, definition, how-to, or listicle.
- Keep the important words visible before truncation.
- Use 40-55 characters as the ideal range when possible.
- Prefer human clarity over keyword stuffing.
- Make every title unique.
- Mirror SERP patterns when useful:
best,top, numbers, year, comparison terms. - Avoid useless titles like
Home,About,Products, or vague category labels. - Avoid changing slugs just to match temporary numbers or years.
